Definitions

  • each of the pistons 60 has a head 60a defining slightly less than 120 degrees of circular arc and is slidably mounted by means of a respective 0-ring 62 or more preferably an elastomer seal with an external profile which is more resistant to the seal rolling in its groove when the piston travels axially, in a respective piston chamber 64 of a cylindrical piston chamber block/flow restrictor/radial bearing 66 shown in greater detail in Figures 8A and 8B and located between the housing 8 and the drive shaft 16.
  • seal pads 74 are mounted to the housing 8 by means of screws 76, 78 such that each seal pad 74 and O- rings 80 define a respective oil-filled second pressure chamber 72 between the seal pad 74 and the pusher pistons 12, as shown more clearly in Figure 6. Additional screws could also be added which are not shown to the centre of the seal pad to enhance the ability of the gasket seal around the periphery of the seal pad to seal properly in all instances of internal and external pressures applied to the oil-filled second chamber.
  • the longitudinal axis of the housing 8 of the tool 2 is aligned a small angle clockwise as shown in Figure 2 of the vertical direction, as the pendulum member 54 aligns itself in a generally vertical direction, the longitudinal axis of the pendulum member 54 will be arranged at a small angle (0.45 deg or so is possible) anticlockwise of the longitudinal axis of the housing 8.
  • the pressure increase is communicated via apertures 30 to the first pressure chamber 32, as a result of which the flow restrictor member 34 and pendulum member 54 are urged to the left 2 against the action of compression spring 38, and the pistons 60 are urged to the right.
  • the lower part of the pendulum member 354 is provided with a larger number of serrations 356 than the corresponding components of the embodiment of Figures 1 to 8, and the compensating pistons 360 are provided with corresponding serrations 357.
  • this component has significantly greater strength than the corresponding component of the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 8 as a result of the enlarged engagement area.
  • the axial force passing through the mutually engaging parts of the pendulum 365 and the pistons 360 is lower because the seal area on the compensating pistons is lower than the seal area on the moving flow restrictor 34 of the embodiment of Figures 1 to 8.
